This weekend Enfusion will be coming at you live from Dublin, Ireland with an explosive card. For fans (at least those outside of the US) you'll be able to view the stream live on http://www.enfusionlive.com starting at 21:00pm local time. Here is a run down of the whole card, which will feature some familiar names.

SuperKombat has reached a new deal with television network EuroSport which has assured that we'll be seeing more SuperKombat events for the years to come. This new, three year extension means that SuperKombat's relationship with EuroSport will continue on in the coming years. SuperKombat has promised that production levels will remain up to the high standards that they've set with their bigger shows from last year, too, which is exciting as we've seen Kickboxing take a bit of a step back from the flashy days of K-1 of late.

“Extending the contract confirms the success of the partnership signed in 2011. We have worked excellent with Eurosport in all these years, both companies are very satisfied. Both, the product and the tv audience had a fast grown so we are confident that this year we will keep the same trend”, said Superkombat Fighting Championship® president Eduard Irimia.

The SuperKombat season launches on March 29th with a New Heroes event.

Andre Dida is one of those guys that most of us know from our time staying up super late to watch Japanese events from here in the United States and rightfully so. Dida cut his teeth in Brazil before being called up by K-1 for their HERO*s organization, where he took place in their first Lightweight GP. Dida, who was a relative unknown to Japanese fans at the time, made it all the way to the Finals. From there he went on to appear in DREAM as well as K-1 MAX.

His K-1 MAX stint was weird, to say the least, as K-1 threw him to the wolves early on, so to speak. His first fight was a crazy KO, so then he was moved up in competition. When I say moved up, I mean that his second K-1 fight was against Buakaw Banchamek (then Por. Pramuk). What was crazy was that he nailed Buakaw with some great shots, Buakaw was a king at the time. Buakaw went on to win via decision in an extra round, but Dida earned some serious respect there. He had two more fights in K-1 after that, both of which were still steep climbs up the talent ranks, against Yuichiro Nagashima and Hinata Watanabe.

Dida announced his return today, claiming that he not only wanted to come back to MMA, but to Kickboxing. I'm not sure that he'd be able to just jump right into the deep waters at 70kg right away, but if GLORY or K-1 were to pick him up they'd be able to build him up until he's comfortable and see where he stands, at least. Dida is planning this comeback with Champions Sports Management based out of Stoney Creek, Ontario, a brand of House of Champions gym, headed by Alin Halmagean and Nenad Kuruc.

If you've been paying attention to the internet and the fight scene over the past few months you are probably well aware of online networks, as the UFC launched Fight Pass and WWE (not exactly fight related, but still) launched the WWE Network. It's safe to say that putting your content on the internet for fans to view it is the way to go, especially if you are trying to reach a new, bigger audience. In the case of European promotion Enfusion, they have some television deals in Europe but they do not reach as wide as they'd like to, so they've taken to the internet to post their fight library.

Starting on March 13th Enfusion will launch http://www.enfusionlive.com, which will feature all of their shows to date, which means Fighting Rookies, Enfusion Live and Enfusion Reality shows. They will also do daily broadcasts at 22:00 Amsterdam time to discuss the world of Martial Arts. So don't forget to bookmark Enfusionlive.com and check it out when it launches!
